Notes:
Electron microscopy of salivary glands of the phytophagous hemipteran Phihia picta infected with Phytomonas serpens revealed the presence of flagellates in the gland periphery beneath the gland envelope, in the gland central lumen, between gland cells in the intercellular space and inside the gland cells. In the latter case, flagellates were found in the cytoplasm whether or not it was surrounded by a vacuolar membrane. Flagellates were always of the promastigote type, sometimes displaying a large twisted body. Morphological peculiarities of flagellates in different gland locations are recorded.
